___________________________ will be attending a Christian spiritual renewal retreat at a camp soon. At one point in the weekend, those attending the retreat receive mail from relatives and close friends. It is a very meaningful part of the experience.

Would you please write a letter, note, or card for ________________? After signing it, put it in an envelope and seal it. Put their name on the envelope (please do not put your name on the envelope, only on the letter inside). Put the envelope in a larger envelope and mail or give it to me by ________________.

This should be a complete surprise. It is an opportunity for you to express your appreciation of them and what your relationship has meant and means to you. You might want to recall some humorous event or some happening that has been special to the two of you. It can be a funny card or a word of encouragement. Anything you know that will mean something to them.
